The current era is marked by the technology
revolution. Its pervasiveness and explosive
transformation make it vital but challenging,
not only for the new generation but all. Such
a transformative technology germinates in
the mind of an engineer, who transforms his
idea into a beneficial application through his
strong foundations of engineering principles,
computational tools, and a systematic
process.
M.Tech. Design Engineering is a four

DISCLAIMER
Ever since it was declared as a Deemed to be University in
1964, BITS Pilani has been offering higher education
programmes in science and technology, and has earned an
enviable reputation for its innovations in this sphere. The
Work Integrated Learning Programmes (WILP) of BITS Pilani
constitutes a unique set of educational offerings for working
professionals. These programmes, which BITS began to
offer in 1979, have, over the years, evolved along the lines
envisaged in the National Policy on Education, 1986.
The WILP are rigorous higher education programmes in
technology areas, designed keeping the evolving needs of
industry in view, and meant for working professionals in their
respective domains. The very intent is to deliver the
education at the workplace, in order that the greatest degree

of work integration of the education is achieved, and thus the
WILP are very distinct in philosophy and pedagogy from
open, distance learning programmes. Though it is incorrect
and improper, at times the WILP are compared to ODL
programmes. Accordingly, it has been our constant
endeavor to engage with the regulator, and provide all
necessary information about these programmes.
The WILP have been well received, and accepted by
industry, because of the high quality of the programmes in
terms of the curriculum and the instruction, and also
because of the high degree of work integration, which results
not only in up gradation of knowledge, but also in up skilling,
and productivity increase.
